• General Chemistry Without Orbitals 

      Lamoureux Lamontagne, Guy; Ogilvie, John F. (2020)
      We illustrate the solutions of Schroedinger's equation for the hydrogen atom in coordinates of all four systems, and differentiate the applicability of orbitals in these four systems. We present reasons that future textbooks ...
    • Orbitals in general chemistry, Part I: The great debate 

      Lamoureux Lamontagne, Guy; Ogilvie, John F. (2020-08)
      In Part I of a three-part series, we present an objective survey of the technical literature discussing the inclusion of orbitals in highschool and post-secondary general chemistry. We start with the definition of orbitals. ...
    • Orbitals in general chemistry, Part III: Consequences for Teaching 

      Lamoureux Lamontagne, Guy; Ogilvie, John F. (2021)
      In Part III of this series, we undertake a critique of the nature of application of orbitals to describe or to explain the structure and the binding within molecules and materials. Teaching orbitals in introductory chemistry ...
